Arvin is starting

Sounds very exciting. I like the way he explain something that can be very dry to be so fascinating. How important is precision How precision was not always the case. How precision is important but not seen and How position is a started very early but for practical reason, but I would say that the steam engine is not the start of position. It must be way older than that going back to the Egyptian ages.
